Pinkieton

[Fluttershy]
Stay alive…

[Flutttershy/Rarity/ENSEMBLE WOMEN]
Stay alive…

[Pinkie]
I have never seen the Princess so despondent
I have taken over writing all his correspondence
Congress writes, “Celestia, attack the British forces.”
I shoot back, we have resorted to eating our horses
Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance
They only take the Empires money, so sing a song of sixpence

[Celestia]
The cavalry’s not coming

[Pinkie]
But, mam!

[Celestia]
Pinkie, listen. There’s only one way for us to win this
Provoke outrage, outright

[Pinkie]
That’s right

[Celestia]
Don’t engage, strike by night
Remain relentless ‘til their troops take flight

[Pinkie]
Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight

[Celestia]
Outrun

[Pinkie]
Outrun

[Celestia]
Outlast

[Pinkie]
Outlast

[Celestia]
Hit ‘em quick, get out fast

[Pinkie]
Chick-a-plao!

[Celestia]
Stay alive ‘til this horror show is past
We’re gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast

[Pinkie/Spike/Zecora]
Raise a glass!

[MULLIGAN]
I go back to New York and my apprenticeship

[Zecora]
I ask for Zebra aid, I pray that Zebraic has sent a ship

[Spike]
I stay at work with Pinkie
We write essays against slavery
And every day’s a test of our camaraderie
And bravery

[Pinkie]
We cut supply lines, we steal contraband
We pick and choose our battles and places to take a stand
And ev’ry day
“mam, entrust me with a command,”
And ev’ry day

[Celestia]
No

[Pinkie]
She dismisses me out of hoof
Instead of me
She promotes
Pipsqueak
Makes him second-in-command:

[Pipsqueak]
Pipsqueak.

[Flutttershy/Rarity]
Stay alive...

[Pipsqueak]
I’m a General. Whee!!!!

[Pinkie]
Yeah. He’s not the choice I would have gone with

[Pinkie/Spike/Zecora]
He shits the bed at the Battle of Monmouth

[Celestia]
Ev’ryone attack!

[Pipsqueak]
Retreat!

[Celestia]
Attack!

[Pipsqueak]
Retreat!

[Celestia]
What are you doing, Pip? Get back on your feet!

[Pipsqueak]
But there’s so many of them!

[Celestia]
I’m sorry, is this not your speed?!
Pinkie!

[Pinkie]
Ready, mam!

[Celestia]
Have Zecora take the lead!

[Pinkie]
Yes, mam!

[Spike]
A thousand soldiers die in a hundred degree heat

[Zecora]
As we snatch a stalemate from the jaws of defeat

[Pinkie]
Pipsqueak was left behind
Without a pot to piss in
He started sayin’ this to anybody who would listen:

[Pipsqueak]
Celestia cannot be left alone to her devices
Indecisive, from crisis to crisis
The best thing she can do for the revolution
Is turn n’ go back to sitting’ on that throne.

[COMPANY]
Oo!!

[Celestia]
Don’t do a thing. History will prove him wrong

[Pinkie]
But, mam!

[Celestia]
We have a war to fight, let’s move along

[Spike]
Strong words from Pip, someone oughta hold him to it

[Pinkie]
I can’t disobey direct orders

[Spike]
Then I’ll do it
Pinkie, you’re the closest friend I’ve got

[Pinkie]
Spike, do not throw away your shot
